Each GSoC 2026 organization is allowed to send up to one delegate to the Mentor Summit. Google will provide each organization 1200 USD in travel assistance for the Mentor Summit for their 1 (one) designated delegate. Attendees must book their own flights and transportation in advance and arrange for a visa/passport (if necessary).
Any additional mentors over the one designated delegate for each organization who want to attend the Mentor Summit can add themselves to the waitlist and see if a spot becomes available for them. Google will start contacting people on the waitlist from early July-late September as space is available. Waitlist folks will receive $600 (sent to the organization) for their travel.

Hotel Information
Once your organization has decided on the delegate it would like to send to the Mentor Summit, that individual can book their hotel room at the Munich Marriott Hotel, Munich, Germany as part of the Google Summer of Code room block. Once you are a confirmed attendee, please use the URL provided by Google to book your hotel rooms directly. Should you choose to stay at a different hotel or additional nights, you will need to cover the cost yourself.
Google will cover one hotel room per person for two nights:
October 30
October 31 (checking out the morning of November 1st).
You can book additional nights at your own expense. S We negotiated a single room rate of 149 € at the Munich Marriott Hotel for the 3 nights before and the 3 nights after our event.
The Munich Marriott Hotel is a non-smoking hotel
Sharing the room with a spouse/partner
Some folks have asked if they can have a non-mentor, non-attendee join them at the Mentor Summit. The answer is sort of.
You may bring along partners/family and they may stay in the hotel room with you, but they cannot participate in any of the actual Mentor Summit events or meals while you are here.
You must still participate in the conference (not spend 3 days vacationing with your family)
We will not provide transportation, food, or facilities to them at any time.
It is an additional 25 € per night for an extra non Mentor Summit attendee (they will receive a free breakfast at the hotel as part of that charge).
Additional charges are your own expense, not Google’s, and will need to be managed with the hotel directly.
